I really like some of her discord usernames, which often have to do with Bananas. Bananas are one of my favorite fruits, so that is a plus. Her current nickname is just A mess though...

She also plays Pokemon, which is cool. Pokemon is a great series, full of awesome characters, and neat pokemon.
I've heard she plays Ace Attorney, which is also really fun, but I personally wouldn't pay full price...

Alright, so this was a very very hard decision. Everyone I asked said that I should like gen 7 more. RNG said I should pick gen 4. I really like gen 7, but nostalgia was for gen 4. It was tough. But finally, I decided to pick gen 7 for the following reasons:

1. The characters: Gen 4 had some decent characters. Cynthia, Lyra, Barry, and of course, Looker. But gen 7 also had Cynthia and Looker, and even more amazing characters. Lillie, Gladion, and Lusamine are pretty much my favorite...

So 2016 was a great year for games, and I got a ton of games I wanted including:
Pokemon Omega Ruby
Bravely Default
Bravely Second
Fire Emblem Fates Conquest & Birthright
Elder scrolls I: Arena
Skyrim SE (I think I got this just before the end of the year)
Oblivion GOTY edition
Morrowind GOTY edition
Xbox One
and a new PC

Not bad overall, the only game I didn't get from my wishlist was FFXV.
Anyways,...

Story differences: In Crystal, there are a few story differences. Suicune plays a major role, and both legendaries from G/S get involved. I think this is a great way to tie all three games together, and makes it more interesting.

Gold-0, Crystal:1

In crystal, the legendaries have their own battle themes, a feature not present in the past few games.

Let's start off with one of the most defining differences in Pokemon games, the version exclusives.
Gold has the Teddiursa line, Growlithe line, Mankey line, and Spinarak line, as well as Gligar and Mantine.
Silver has the Vulpix, Meowth, Ledyba and Phanpy lines, as well as Delibird and Skarmory.

In my Red/Blue comparison, I said that Growlithe was better than Vulpix, and that Mankey was better then Meowth, so that's already 2 points to Gold.
